Visiting the Olympic Park with some odd balls

A couple of months ago I was invited to a new cycling group. This group consisted of riders I have met on the iBikeLDN rides over the last year or so. So when there was ride planned for today I just had to join in. I knew the weather was going to be excellent as forecasters had siad this weekend would be the warmest this year.

Cause the weather was going to be so good I FINALLY was able to wear my awesome Bumble B cycling top to really show it off properly.

The meeting point wasn't to far from my work place so I cycled down. As always focusing on my cadence and breathing as I went. Basically treating every ride as a training ride as much as possible these days.

It turned out I was the first at the meeting point so me and the Legend just enjoyed the sunshine and as always a few photos.

Turned out to be 6 of us all together for this ride and we couldn't have asked for more perfect weather again.

On this ride we would be getting into the Olympic Park which is slowly being opened up to the public in sections and by 30th March should be fully opened.

Made our way to the stadium and someone had the brilliant idea of a jumping photo. Cue lots of bemused people watching us jumping about like nutters trying to take photos. Likely my Olympus Tough 2 camera had a pretty good burst mode which came in handy for this kind of thing.

Another good social ride, much needed when the weather turns out good like this.

Well I hope my readers got a chance to get out on their bikes cause if you didn't have a damn good reason BumbleB is not going to be happy.

  2. Spring fling! What a lot of goofy fun -- and I'm making note of Susanna L's use of a leotard in weather that's still cool. That's just brilliant!
